Today German public television stations are broadcasting the 2nd theme night on illegal gun exports to Mexican provinces of conflict for an audience of millions. Their focus is on the scandalous court case and – finally! – also the victims of illegal arms sales:

8:15 pm: feature film “Master of Death 2” (90 min., ARD) + 9:45 pm: documentary “Deadly Exports 2 – Arms Managers in Court” (30 min., ARD) + 11:30 pm: above-mentioned documentary in the 60-minute long version (SWR) – directed by Daniel Harrich. It is of course also pleasing that our criminal charges – J. Grässlin against H&K and RA H. Rothbauer against the control authorities – have set the ball rolling!

For the first time in Europe, in February 2020, on the initiative of GN-STAT, in partnership with the Municipality and Academy of Merano, the University Platform for Human Dignity and Human Rights (EUPHUR) and other partners, a film festival on the international arms trade entitled “Mercato di Morte – Deadly Trade” was held in Merano, Italy. Wolfgang Landgraeber, filmmaker and member of the GN-STAT coordination team describes the successful course of the festival.
